Good opening passage for Sale. Cipriani finds a good touch on the 22.

The sides are back out. Saints will want to get the first score in this second half as Cipriani gets us underway.

Half Time- Sale deserved leaders after dominating affairs for the first 40 minutes. The home side have seen most of the possession and have spent large periods inside the Saints 22. The visitors have failed to produce any continuity in attack have been placed under huge pressure in defence. Not the most attractive game with windy conditions halting free flowing rugby and the game has been somewhat of a stop-start nature so far. More updates coming up so stay with us.

Are Sale playing well or are Saints poor?

@Neil- Very windy, making place kicking difficult.

@Mike- Dickinson was sin binned for coming in from the side at the breakdown.

What's the weather conditions like ?

Northampton under pressure again. Sale lineout 25 metres out.

**** sake

Eifion Lewis-Roberts claims the try and Cipriani adds the extras.
